Discover sophisticated and timeless design in this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-level mid-century gem nestled in the foothills of La Canada. With 2,192 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and sited on a large, flat lot, on a quiet private road, this home is perfect for those who value both aesthetics and serenity. Wide carved double front doors, vertical wood panel siding and a rustic rock-framed entry are just a few of the mid-century modern features that that welcome visitors with mid-century verve. The landscaping palette here includes live oak, a handsome mix of California native and drought tolerant mediterranean plants, and sculptural agave. The pebbled front walkway, slate tile floor on the covered front porch and a sidelight window with mirroring planters on the exterior and interior entry introduce the consistent connection between indoor and outdoor spaces found within. Inside, the original mid-century two-sided rock fireplace seems to have a gravitational pull - it's a striking centerpiece in both the den and spacious living room. The living room is quintessential midcentury southern California with a wall of picture windows, vaulted ceiling and soffits fitted with lighting. Natural light abounds here, highlighting the home's super cool original architectural details, including stunning refinished oak floors, built-in shelving and cabinetry lining the southern wall of living and dining rooms. With a seamless flow from the entry to den or living and dining rooms, this home is an ideal space for entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The kitchen is smartly located between dining room and den, each with their own sliding doors to the spacious covered patio. With an expansive flat lot providing endless possibilities for outdoor living and gardening, this home offers the opportunity to add a pool or expanded patio. Located in a tranquil neighborhood within the highly sought-after La Canada school district, this mid-century treasure combines nostalgic charm with modern potential.
